Alys Beach

 

As you approach Alys Beach, you are greeted by white towers marking the entrance. A series of palm trees and elongated squared-off hedges line each side of the road, ushering you into this master-planned community. Once inside, cobblestone streets and white stucco homes with sculpted details reminiscent of Bermuda or Greece transport you into a quaint, calm, and sophisticated society. Here, you’ll find a variety of real estate, from oceanfront villas to courtyard homes inspired by Morocco and beyond.

 

Alys was crafted with longevity in mind, hoping to create a legacy that will live on much longer than traditional neighborhoods, and it is evident in the architecture throughout this seaside oasis. Every aspect of Alys Beach’s build was carefully planned, from its weather-resistant cobblestone streets to its strategically planted buildings, oriented to shepherd Gulf breezes to Alys Beach’s downtown area and provide a cool sea breeze. Meticulously manicured green spaces with intricate sculptures and fountains are peppered throughout the community. This idyllic haven spans 158 acres and includes a 20-acre nature preserve with lush green foliage. An elevated boardwalk guides you through the preserve by foot or bicycle and immerses you in nature. Alys also has nine parks that provide additional space for recreation and relaxation, and there is an amphitheater for various entertainment throughout the year.

Alys Beach is a dream community. It offers a unique lifestyle bathed in luxury. The community knows how to have fun, and many locals gather for festivals, concerts, and activities designed to celebrate life, foster relationships, and strengthen community ties. Out-of-town tourists and people from other 30A communities come to Alys Beach for special events and to see the beautiful architecture and landscape. Alys Beach’s shopping and dining offer world-class cuisine and high-end retail. Most of the boutiques and eateries are located in the Town Center, along with a splash fountain and verdant green space that locals can use.

 

The spectacular, multi-tier Beach Club is where you will want to spend most of your days. A fine dining restaurant and an entertainment space reside on the grounds, but the star of the show is the Caliza pool. The 100-foot saltwater Caliza pool has an infinity edge that overlooks the Gulf of Mexico, blurring the lines between freshwater and saltwater. On the lower terrace, there are two small spas, a large spa accommodating 60 guests, a lap pool, and a shaded, shallow pool for children. The club’s wellness center, Zuma, features fitness classes, tennis courts, gym equipment, spa treatments, massage therapy, steam rooms, and a pool for lessons and swimming laps. 

 

There are many fine dining options in and around Alys Beach. George’s At Alys Beach uses fresh, locally sourced ingredients to create its famous American-coastal dishes, which have become a staple in the community. Just across the street from George’s is Neat, a trendy cocktail bar and wine-tasting room. 

 

The Citizen is located next to Neat and serves American-style cuisine in its open-concept dining room. Just a block away is Fonville Press Market and Cafe. This charming cafe also carries a curated selection of grocery items, such as fresh produce, dairy, and more. 

 

There are so many things to see and do at Alys Beach. The 30A Wine Festival at Alys Beach is a five-day festival that raises funds for the Children’s Volunteer Health Network. The event features culinary experts and distillers, offers workshops, and hosts fun activities for all ages. 

 

Alys Beach Nature Trail winds through a stunning nature preserve. Residents walk or ride their bicycles along the trail. Another popular space for outdoor recreation is Arboleda Park. This public space is located in a semi-wooded area with pine and oak trees. A sculpture entitled Leda the Mermaid is housed in the park and is surrounded by shrubs shaped to look like waves.

 

With its magnificent white sand and emerald waters, Alys Beach is breathtaking. In addition to the incredible Beach Club, Alys Beach offers recreation rentals and luxe amenities such as good delivery to beachgoers.
